Ben, pardon my intrusion but could you pls limit your somewhat reckless scalping and give way to more insightful research underlying the pair. If you have clear rules set, you'd be better off creating an expert advisor. I understand this is the place for interactive trading but i saw little to no explanation of your trades, hence consider your trading style unsustainable.

On a different note, now that the stock one-day rally is drawing to its close, any thoughts on whether usd/jpy would spring up after earnings report? Thus, the only thing holding usd/jpy now to burst up would be still the uncertainty around the reports?

take-profit, my absolutely long-term (towards post recession times) view on the usd/jpy pair is bullish. Hence i would only look at dips to buy the pair rather than riding zig-zags. I do think usd is fundamentally undervalued for now, so until usd/jpy reaches 100 mark i would base my trades on long bias. Too many investment houses' deep pockets are still full of JPY and this can only change when optimism firmly settles in. Today we just witness outbursts of it.

That's right and it had been a huge trend. But to trade this very long term trend you will need a big stop loss position because the pullbacks are also be quite big, as you can see. Keep the risk:reward in mind for any possible entry.

Shorts should be careful here, as previous poster said, no one wants a stronger Yen here, so if falls further BOJ intervention likely. I am expecting t to retrace back to mid 95's-96'0 next week.
Its all in the mind.
